Both Sigur Ros' and JoFo's new albums come out on iTunes tomorrow and I can only afford one, but I can't decide which.
So which one do you think I should get?

tricky one this
after () I would've said definitely Sigur Ros but I (thought I hate to say it) think they might be slightly on the wane these days. Wheras 'JoFo' may not yet have the pedigree but are more likely to be exciting and fresh.
JoFo
cos they are little nd need more cash they seem hungry in their tour diarys
you've probably heard a Sigur Ros record before, yeah?
I have Takk
It's very good, but has significant dips and soars in quality.
I already know the JoFo album is amazing
but know nothing of the Sigur Rós album, so I'd suggest the former
Johnny Foreigner
you'll probably hear the entirety of the Sigur Ros record on a BBC nature program anyway.
ooh you bitch
can't have any of these bands getting above their station now can we?
haha
it's not a bad thing that Sigur Ros are getting played on TV - but the BBC were over excessive with 'hoppipolla' soundtracking every single scene of 'natural beauty' in their programming. I've heard it in countless programs, it's a little too predictable.
Yes,
I can see why hearing songs on the telly could put people off buying it.
jofo are ok, No patch on sigur ros
Plus the single is fantastic
so get the sigur ros album
and its out tomorow on itunes!!!!
EXCITEMENT
you can't really compare them, can you?
they're both groups of people who make some sort of music, that's where similarities end really. It'd be like comparing Trifon Ivanov to George Best.
I found my George Best fiver today!
whats a George Best fiver?
Well I guess it has his face on it or somat but why what why why?
ah
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6199180.stm
ooo nice
I bet my Dad would have liked one of them he is a big Man U fan has been since he was a kid.
Im not comparing them
but I personally like listening to sigur ros more than Jofo.
So if I was in his position I would get the sigur ros album.
Plus, is it really out tomorow??? I cant see this fact anywhere
I'm going by information in here
http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/3400866
Johnny Foreigner defo.
Sigur DROSS more like...
JoFo
I don't really have a reason, I just think you should
out of interest
re: sigur ros. why would you want to buy music that's largely all about texture and dymanics and the sound itself in a crap format like m4a?
because...erm...I like the music?
Is that not a good enough reason these days?
you've missed the point.
cos s/he probably isn't
a pedant
hahahaah
it's nothing to do with being a pedant. would you buy it on cassette if it was released earlier?
m4a
is more practical than a cassette. is there really that much difference in quality between a cd and an m4a?
i suppose not if you're listening
on crappy laptop speakers. it just strikes me as strange to pay the same price for an album in a worse format, especially when it's the sort of music where sound quality is surely a premium issue.
Daddy or chips?
Sigur Ros ...marginally ...I think : S
johnny foreigner
never listned to sigur ros
are jofo reaaallly that good?
Iv not heard the album yet
the mini album
is superb. absolutely.
Eh?
Says here Sigur Ros is out on the 23rd and is available for direct pre-ordering from tomorrow. Also says here it's streaming from the 9th from their official site.
yeah
its not out
you might want to go for jofo then :p
if sigur ros
was out i'd say that. buy a Johnny Foreigner CD at a show, and tell them how much you love them, it will warm their hearts.
